Your Congratulations — текст песни (Alanis Morissette)

I wouldn`t have compromised as much
so much of myself for fear of having you hating me
I would`ve sung so loudly
It would`ve cracked myself!
I because self-conscious
or anything exuberant
I wouldn`t have sold myself short
I wouldn`t have kept my eyes
glued to the ground
If I had`ve known my invisibility
would not make a difference
I would`ve run around screaming proudly
at the top of my voice
I wouldn`t have said it was in fact luck
I`m talking idealism here
I would not have been so self deprecating
I wouldn`t have cowered
for fear of having my eyes scratched out!
I wouldn`t have cut my comfort off
I wouldn`t have feigned needlessness
I would not have discredited
every one of their compliments
it was your approval I wanted
your congratulations
